Event and root-finding functions to trigger response strategies — make_response_threshold

Prepare functions that can be passed to deSolve::lsoda() as event and root-finding functions, which trigger response strategies that reduce disease transmission.

Usage

make_response_threshold_event(response_threshold)

Arguments

response_threshold: A single numeric value for the total number of hospitalisations that causes an epidemic response (specified by response_strategy) to be triggered, if it has not already been triggered via response_time. Currently defaults to NULL, and a country-specific spare hospital capacity value is used from country_data. Pass a number to override the default country-specific threshold value.
